Scream: Showrunners Tease Season Three Plans for MTV Series

by Jessica Pena, August 17, 2016

Season two of Scream just ended this week, and showrunners Michael Gans and Richard Register recently spoke with TVLine about the future of the MTV series.

Based on the horror film franchise, the slasher drama follows a group of teenagers who become the targets of a serial killer. The cast includes Willa Fitzgerald, Amadeus Serafini, Bex Taylor-Klaus, Carlson Young, Conner Weil, and John Karna.

When asked about a possible third season, Gans said one thing is certain—Kieran is alive and in prison:

It’s hard to talk about, because there’s so much we can’t say about the future — and one of those things, of course, is how Kieran will continue. But he is alive and in prison! And that’s another thing we wanted to do differently than you normally see at the end of slashers. Most of the time, the killer gets killed. And I think Emma is the right character to choose not to take the kill. … Kieran’s alive, which means anything can happen.”

Gans later revealed that Brooke will be forever changed by her father’s death:

I think that would have been spectacular to see, and I don’t think it’s weird at all. If I’m being honest, it’s about the scope of what you can get done in the time allotted to you at the end of the season. Brooke was already carving out her own choices separate from her father’s wishes for her — first Jake, then Stavo — but they were like teammates when we first met them. And now he’s dead. It’s going to affect her forever, and it definitely changes who she is going forward.”

MTV has not yet renewed Scream for a third season. However, the network did announce earlier that there will be a Halloween special.
